Charity – it's not as clear cut as you think, Conversation ESL and debate class
- Zip
Description
This is a PowerPoint lesson in editable PPT format with worksheets and teacher’s notes. This conversation lesson, aimed at high schoolers and ESL adults, aspires to create a debate about the pros and cons of charity in its various forms and models and to discuss what, if any, are the problems with charity as we know it.
Charity is something that seems pretty straightforward. Not everyone gives to charity, but most people believe it’s a good and moral thing to do.
In this lesson, we look at scientific research, which challenges the way we think about charity, and tries to suggest different solutions to the old existing charity models.
this lesson includes:
♚ Motives for giving to charity
♚ Research results regarding what makes us more likely to get involved
♚ The pros and cons of charities
♚ charities that are controversial
♚ The pros and cons of giving money to the homeless
This is an interesting topic, that will no doubt spark a great debate. I usually give this lesson before we embark on a yearly project of volunteering.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BUYING THIS PRODUCT, PLEASE READ THIS:
The products in this shop are all produced by me, a dyslexic teacher (hence the name).
I’m painfully aware of what seems to be a very poor judgment of career choice on my part, and to be honest, a large part of this choice was to stick it to Mrs. Jacobson who said that there’s no place for the likes of me with my “pretend excuses” for misspelling every third word, in any self-respecting educational institution, so naturally, I had to become a teacher.
For more than 25 years I’ve been teaching ESL adult classes and cross-culture business classes, and much like other challenged individuals who go through life with one hand tied behind their backs, I try to make up for what I lack in the spelling department with hours of research, high-quality graphics, humor, passion and love for what I do.
The fact that I can actually do this job is first and foremost a testimony of open-mindedness (or desperation brought on by the long economic recession) of the schools that hired me over the years despite my very evident drawback, by the parents that tolerated grammar mishaps and most of all by my beautiful students who have learned to “always double-check their teacher” and have come up with the sweetest, most heart-warming and diplomatic ways of pointing out my spelling errors (putting to great use their newly-acquired conditional capacity: “I’m not sure, but, I think I might have spotted…”)
Over the years, I've personally contributed to the economic success of countless computer ‘correcting programs’ available on the market (you're welcome Grammarly), and on top of that my lessons are proofread by wonderful, kind (and slightly horrified) TPT teachers, BUT there are always some errors that slip by us (mostly because I keep messing with the lessons after they've been proofread).
• If you feel offended by the existence of spelling errors in what is supposed to be a teaching tool
• or if you, much like Mrs. Jacobson, think the dyslexia is just an excuse not to try harder
THEN THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR YOU!
For all you tree-hugging, open-minded individuals, who are looking for challenging, original material for your conversation classes and can see beyond the possible grammar errors (maybe even use it as a teaching opportunity “An extra point for the first student who can spot the obvious grammar error that I always tell you never to make”. Plus, you know that wonderful, warm, superior feeling you get when you catch a colleague’s error - well these moments are included with the product – no extra charge)
THIS PRODUCT IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU!
All my lessons are in an editable PPT format and you get a free product if you send me the errors to correct.
I hope this product delivers everything you hoped for and more.

Thank you!
WISH YOU ALL A WONDERFUL AND SUCCESSFUL YEAR!
